OMG! Has Kat’s Secret Son Been Revealed In EastEnders Spin-Off Redwater?

Speculation has been rife with EastEnders fans since it was revealed that Kat Moon (nee Slater) actually gave birth to TWINS when she had baby Zoe way back in the 1980s.

It was revealed that Kat, who fell pregnant at 13 after being abused by her uncle, had a son she didn’t know about, as well as daughter Zoe. She was told the news by Sister Ruth, a nun played by June Whitfield, who helped her give birth to Zoe.

Since then fans have held onto the theory that Kat’s secret son is actually Sean Slater. Sean (played by Rob Kazinsky) is Stacey’s brother. Or is he? This is Walford we’re talking about. Anything could happen.

Their hopes appeared to be dashed however when Sister Ruth made an appearance in the Square and told Kat that her son was living in Ireland.

Kat, Alfie and their three children quit the Square for Redwater in Ireland, in the hope of finding her long lost boy. Their adventures are being filmed as part of a spin-off show called, yep, Redwater.

And if these scenes from Redwater’s filming are anything to go by, fans will have to let the Sean Slater theory go once and for all.

New pictures show an emotional-looking Kat (Jessie Wallace) deep in conversation with a mystery male character, who looks about the right age to play her secret son.

She’s also spotted on a boat with the mystery man. What DOES IT ALL MEAN??

The actor is Oisin Stack, and he plays a character called Dermot. We know that Kat’s son was named Luke at birth, but obviously this means nothing.

So could this mystery man be Luke? Or is it another red herring being thrown to us by producers? Only time will tell.

Redwater is scheduled to air in 2017.
